"I'll see you later." You said to Bonnie who looked up from the book she was reading and looked as if she hadn't heard a word that you'd said. You'd had lunch with her under a big tree in the centre of town, enjoying the soft breeze and afternoon sun.

"You're going?" She asked.

"Yes. To talk to Tyler. We just agreed I should do that." You reminded her.

"Sorry. I. Yeah. That sounds great. Maybe you can figure out why he's being so weird around you." Bonnie grinned apologetically as she realised that she had said those exact words ten minutes earlier. "Sorry. The book."
"I get it. I'll call later and tell you how it went." You said as you saw one of the only two buses that run through town pulling up towards the stop nearby. Waving goodbye over your shoulder you ran to the stop and made it just in time. As you sat near the front of the bus you fiddled with your fingers in your lap nervously. Something had been going on between you and Tyler. You worried that he'd finally figured out you had a crush on him but Elena had been quick to point out that if he hadn't figured it out by now, he probably never would unless you told him.

You got off the bus and walked the rest of the way to the Lockwood mansion. When you reached the doors you let yourself in and called out to Tyler. You'd texted him that you'd be by later in the afternoon when you'd met up with Bonnie.

"Hey!" Tyler said. He was sleepy and pulling on a red shirt. Clearly, he'd been asleep all day.

"Hi." You smiled despite noticing that he sat at the bottom of the stairs rather than come over to you. His hair was tousled and you couldn't help but feel a flutter of affection and nervous desire. Tyler cleared his throat and moved up a few steps, shifting awkwardly in his spot.

"I urm. I wasn't sure what time you'd be coming down so I had a nap." he admitted and you smiled. Things were definitely awkward between the two of you.

"You should just say it." He said suddenly, interrupting your thoughts.

"Say what?" You asked and he ran a hand through his hair.

"I think it's time you gave in and admitted that you want me." Tyler said as he watched you carefully. He got up, stepping closer. His presence pushed you backwards with each step until your back hit the archway between the hall and reception room and he was in front of you.

"If I did. What would you do?" you asked. He leaned forwards and kissed you, his arms snaking sound you, using the wall for balance as he pulled you up into him. His fingers dug into your clothes so roughly that the fabric became irrevocably stretched. Your breath hitched in your throat as his teeth scraped at the skin of your neck when his kiss travelled down from your lips and across your jaw.

"We should go up to my room." He said against your skin, hoisting you into his arms and heading towards the stairs as he continued to tug at your clothes to get them off.
